Two children die as wall collapses in Chennai

Two children who have been identified as Dayan 8, and his cousin Muskal 4, died when a portion of the compound wall of their house collapsed at Mehta Nagar on Thursday night.

The victims were playing outside their house around 6.45pm when the wall collapsed and in the impact, the children suffered severe head injuries.
 

Cops believe that the recent rains could have weakened the walls of the house, which was quite old.

Police have registered a case and are investigating further.
